Thomas Cromwell: A Life by Diarmaid MacCulloch

2.0

Not sure why I battled on with this one. This biography of Thomas Cromwell is another book that's been sat on my shelf for years. I originally planned to read it and then move onto Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall trilogy, but then lost interest in both. I mean, Thomas Cromwell was - to put it mildly - a bit of a bastard, and I just think there are other historical figures I would prefer to spend 700+ pages with. A well-written academic history book but it's a case of wrong reader, wrong time with me I think!
